Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

However, why was he asking about that specifically? 

I couldn’t wrap my head around it and replied with a question mark. 

He didn’t reply back. He had actually already eaten breakfast and headed to the amusement park earlier than me. 

The wiring and voltage had been fixed overnight, so Brandon immediately started on the debugging. I was basically just a third eye for him. He would adjust the programming and I would take a look. If I felt like something was off, he would do it again. 

I also realized what he said last night. He genuinely didn’t want any illnesses or injuries to affect the progress of work. 

-He worked nonstop like a robot. I was forced to work tirelessly as well, to the 

point where I barely even had time to drink water. In fact, sometimes I purposely held myself back from drinking water as drinking meant that I would have to constantly go to the restroom. 

In the short trip to and from the restroom, he would already finish debugging one of the lighting fixtures. Without me to confirm if it was good enough to move on, he would have to wait for me. That really affected our progress. 

By the third day, I was beginning to get ulcers from my dehydration. Brandon, on the other hand, seemed fine even though he had also barely drank any 

water. 

I guess there were some areas that women really couldn’t beat men in. 

“Drink some water, Maddie. If you don’t, you’re going to dry up into an old husk. “Kara was sharing a room with me, which meant that she was privy to everything going on. She felt bad for me too. 

I chuckled. “Even if I dry up, I’ll dry up into a beautiful young husk, thank you. very much.” 

After that, I tilted my head back to drink some water and just so happened to meet Brandon’s gaze. I choked due to the coincidence. 

“Calm down! Why did you drink so quickly?” Kara asked, patting my back in an

attempt to calm me down. 

Brandon had also approached and twisted open a bottle of water before chugging it down. 

2/3 

He drank quickly, which meant his Adam’s apple was also moving quickly. I couldn’t help myself from gulping as well. 

I knew his Adam’s apple moving was simply how the body worked. However, I seemed to be extra sensitive to his Adam’s apple. 

Did I have a thing for Adam’s apples? 

I almost choked again at that thought. Kara quickly patted my back again. “Why do you keep choking? Are you getting ulcers in your throat too?” 

Brandon looked over, and I quickly shook my head. “No. I just drank too quickly. 

“Are you dehydrated?” he asked, looking at me. I could feel him pointedly looking at my lips. 

I couldn’t help myself from pressing my 

lips together as I shook my head and said, “No.” 

“As if! You’ve been so worried about delaying Mr. Howell’s progress that you haven’t been drinking any water so you wouldn’t have to keep going to the bathroom! Now your whole mouth is covered in dry sores. You barely even eat because of them,” Kara said, her mouth working faster than her mind as usual. 

Brandon approached and stood right in front of me. “Open your mouth.” 

I froze. Kara’s eyes also widened in confusion. 

The very next second, he reached out and held my chin, forcing me to open my mouth. He peered inside and let go before saying, “Yeah, it’s all ulcers in there.” 

He turned to look at Kara, whose jaw had practically dropped to the floor. “Go buy some oral antiseptic spray and medicated mouthwash for her.” 

Kara nodded and stammered out, “Okay!” 

Then, she turned to leave. However, she quickly turned back and asked, “I thought you were an engineer. How do you know so much about medicine?”
